You know who they were? (Maybe?)
Oh yeah. Sons of mullet netters who think the world owes them a living. Every one of them couldn't contain themselves when they went to sell items stolen from the folks on Sanibel.
It was a joke. They would put items at the curb if it didn't garner enough money and the cops were laughing at their stupidity.
They won't have it nearly as easy the next time.
